• Open cover of pulley housing (Fig. 9, Ref. No. 2) and insert cen-
ter pulley assembly (Fig. 8, Ref. No. 9) into the head casting.
• Choose a speed from Figure 5 or the pulley housing speedchart
and connect spindle pulley to center pulley with front drive
belt (Fig. 8, Ref. Nos. 2, 8 and 9). Connect center pulley to motor
pulley with rear drive belt (Fig. 8, Ref. Nos. 9, 10 and 11).
NOTE: Front drive belt is type 310J4 and rear drive belt is type
290J4.
• Pull handle (Fig. 8, Ref. No. 18) to move motor toward rear of
drill press and tighten motor lock handle (Ref. No. 17).
MOUNT DRILL CHUCK AND ARBOR
Refer to Figure 8.
• Be sure spindle taper, arbor taper and chuck taper are clean
and dry.
• Use the provided chuck key (Ref. No. 32) to adjust the jaws of
the chuck (Ref. No. 31) until they are recessed inside the drill
chuck body.
• Place drill chuck on a workbench face down. Arbor (Ref. No. 30)
has a short taper and a long taper. Place short taper into top of
drill chuck and tap with a rubber or wooden mallet.
• Slide arbor into the spindle (Ref. No. 29) while slowly rotating
drill chuck. Spindle has a rectangular pocket in which the tang
fits into. Once tang is oriented correctly, drill chuck will not
rotate without turning the spindle.
• Tap the end of drill chuck with a rubber or wooden mallet to
seat it into the spindle.
Hardware (Four M8 x 125 hex head bolts, M8 lock washers, M8 hex
nuts and eight M8 flat washers) has been provided for mounting
the drill press to a wood base plate. This is recommended if you
intend to place the drill press on a mobile base. The minimum
recommended size of the wood base plate is
3
⁄
4
x 24 x 24”.
INSTALLATION
Refer to Figures 2, 3 and 4.
MOUNT DRILL PRESS
• Drill press must be mounted to flat level surface. Use shims or
machine mounts if necessary. Do not mount drill press in direct
sunlight.
• Be sure to bolt drill press to floor or bench securely to prevent
tipping and minimize vibration.
• Tighten all nuts and bolts that may have loosened during
shipment.
POWER SOURCE
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage an frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn out. Heavy loads require that the
voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of electrical shock. Equipment should
be grounded while in use to protect operator from electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord rated up
to 300V and a 3-prong grounding type plug rated at 115V (See
Figure 2) for your protection against shock hazards.
Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle, as
shown (Figure 2).
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug
when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by
an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is neces-
sary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a qualified electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See Figure 3)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is
properly grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless permit-
ted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the
side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a prop-
erly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
• If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.
